Alpha decay = big nuclei
Beta decay = too many neutrons
positron emission / electron capture= too many protons.
i don't know but for sure their must be some method to measure the radioactivity from distance. and fist of all radioactivity is phenomenon in which radioactive elements emit some rays so the intensity of those rays can be measured from the distance
Igneous rocks can contain radioactive minerals, but they are not inherently radioactive themselves. The level of radioactivity in an igneous rock depends on its mineral composition, particularly the presence of uranium, thorium, or potassium isotopes. Some igneous rocks, like granite, may have higher levels of natural radioactivity due to these minerals, while others may have little to no radioactivity. Overall, the degree of radioactivity varies widely among different igneous rock types.
no but she built the knowleage of radioactivity.
is radioactivity extensive or intensive or chemical property
Marie Curie used math in her work by applying mathematical principles in her research on radioactivity. She used mathematical equations to describe the behavior of radioactive elements and to quantify the levels of radioactivity in different substances. This mathematical approach helped her make significant discoveries in the field of radioactivity.
Chernobyl is well-known for it's dangerously high radioactivity levels.

Radioactivity is hazardous because it emits ionizing radiation that can damage living cells and tissues, leading to health problems such as cancer, genetic mutations, and radiation sickness. Exposure to high levels of radioactivity can have serious and long-lasting effects on humans and the environment.
No, the common method of measuring radioactivity at job sites is typically done using a Geiger-Muller counter or a scintillation detector. These devices are more accurate and sensitive in measuring radioactivity levels compared to an electroscope.
henri bacquerel discovered radioactivity in 1896.Artificial radioactivity was first discovered by Joliot Curie and her husband in 1934 while studying the effect of alpha particle bombardment on like elements like Aluminium

It's not technically baldness, I suppose "hair loss" is more accurate. But, yes, radioactivity is physically harmful and loss of hair is a common result from heavy exposure. We're talking nuclear reactor or chemo-therapy with radioactive materials levels, not "stand in front of the microwave" or "get sunburnt" levels...
Radioactivity affect the water molecules. Radioactivity makes it harmful
What other sort of radioactivity is there?
Certain types of spiderwort are used to detect radioactivity. Specifically the Ohio spiderwort, Tradscantia ohiensis can show low levels of radioactivity when the stamen hairs, which are normally blue, grow pink as a result of genetic mutation.
Radioactivity can be induced in ordinary matter by artificial transmutation.
